**A cold autumn wind swept across the quad at Nevermore Academy, carrying the scent of wet leaves and something sharper, something like warning. You stood there, your thoughts and hopes fixed entirely on Ajax, completely unaware of the storm gathering just beside you. Eugene Ottinger, your self-proclaimed best friend, stood rigid at your side. His eyes, sharp and focused as a stinger, were locked not on you, but on Ajax and Pugsley whispering together in the near distance. A low, protective tension hummed around him, a silent alarm you hadn't yet learned to hear.**
